Comments on: A Congregation Conceived http://necessaryroughness.org/archives/853 two kingdoms, hundreds of thousands of miles Fri, 08 Aug 2008 19:04:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Dan http://necessaryroughness.org/archives/853#comment-5774 Dan Wed, 01 Nov 2006 21:13:35 +0000 http://necessaryroughness.org/archives/853#comment-5774 Mutti, that's wonderful news! I'm sure LCMS and the Ohio District has incentives to get the most bang for whatever bucks they are putting in. As our core group of "committed people" get to know each other better, it may be convenient to open up our home for Vespers on the piano a couple of times a month. Wouldn't it be a good chuckle for another item to appear on the NR sidebar: "Dan is playing Matins/Vespers in... at..." One can dream. :) Mutti, that’s wonderful news!

We've just purchased a building for our mission church (2-years old--does that make it a toddler?), with two families (not including the Pastor & his wife). We put our trust in God and he has provided! We've had three new families come since we started in the new building (That's a 40% growth rate--how do you like them apples?) :p.

We as a group also found the life-cycle model humorous. The analogy extended itself to the question, "How do we know if we have a church/conception here?" Just like in pregnancy, sometimes we are surprised. Congratulations on your third! Pastor, thank you.

Hopefully you experience little "morning sickness" and have a healthy and speedy "delivery". (Ok, I admit, my wife is pregnant now, so I find the life-cycle model a little humorous). In any case, may the Lord bless you in this endeavor! What an exciting opportunity! Hopefully you experience little “morning sickness” and have a healthy and speedy “delivery”.
